Developmental perspectives of numerical thinking for the interpretation of physical quantities
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
This research reveals the perspectives in the teaching of numerical thinking through a documentary review. The representation of physical elements such as functions, vectors and operators, and their subsequent interpretation through numerical thinking gives meaning to the physical quantities that such elements represent. A documentary sample integrated for 40 sources on numerical thinking such as articles published in indexed journals, postgraduate dissertations, and books is considered. A qualitative content analysis method is used. First, an ...
GeoGebra as learning tool for the search of the roots of functions in numerical methods
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
Physics is capable of describing, through equations, phenomena on a micro and macroscopic scale. However, most of these equations are non-linear and the identification of their roots requires the use of approximation methods, with numerical methods being a proposal based on a systematic and iterative process, that conclude only when a pre-established tolerance is satisfied. Traditional teaching of numerical methods involves the memorization of algorithms. However, this hinders student’s ability to understand the important aspects and then apply ...
